I never agreed with the (not wanting to put miles on my car) I thought the "touring edition" was meant to go on tours of ****... Its not like its a rare sports car that you cant just go buy another with less miles on it. Its not gonna last forever might as well enjoy it while you can. Just my opinion though. I bought it to drive the hell out of it on nice country roads and long sweeping highway turns. Everytime I see my car I want to drive it for hours. I love my car. I love driving it.

I mean re sale value is in the Sh!tter anyway. Not like miles are gonna change it. Im still gonna sell it eventually to some kid who will wreck her anyway. Might as well give a good life while I can.

I dunno, just never understood why you would pay hundreds of dollars a month for something that just sits in the garage.

To quote random guy on a bike "Its just a car".

It was so great. All the way up to niagra falls and back. I tried to get a picture with some rapids in the background but there were too many cars and stuff to be able to pull off. The roads up there were a blast. Lots of up ands downs and nice sweeping turns. Good scenary: Wind farms in the hills, rivers along the roads, weird little places to stop and look and weird things like antiques and skulls made of leather, cool little main streets in the middle of no where. Lots and lots of **** stores though.... Too bad I dont have a DVD player hahahaha. Overall it was a great trip. I mean put over 1000 miles on the car but....well....see above.

like I said beast. Not trying to be a douche bag or anything. I know how some people are about miles on their cars. I mean the 58 Edsel I drove only had 150,000 miles on it. (restored recently). I just dont see anyone saying in 50 years "oh man I got drive jonthans 2003 Nissan 350z. It was awesome..... you actually had to push the pedals yourself to drive it and it didnt even fly"

My other choice is a 98 accord with 210000 miles on it. I dont think it will be doing any road trips in the near future. HA!

Still running strong though.

I had my GF with me on this little "cruise" Made it nice to have someone to talk to. We listened to a book on cd... Lame I know. But we heard the entire book HA. It was actually a really good book. Devil in the White City. Its about the Chicago world fair and the first known serial killer H H Holmes. It was cool.

Ive always wanted to drive west somewhere. I still have pretty much only been up and down the east coast. TN might be a cool state to go visit. I dunno. I dont know whats coming up. Im gonna have a cook out soon though. I will pm you when I decide on more details.
